Actress Kim Cattrall revealed that she turned to the Blood Type Diet to shed the pounds after filming the movie, “Meet Monica Velour”. The 50-something year-old actress had to gain weight for her role as an ageing adult film star, and admitted that losing the 20lbs was not an easy task.

I turned on the radio and listened to a show about GMO foods. I confess I was ignorant about the subject. The two things that caught my attention were a list of ingredients to avoid if you wanted to stay GMO free and a list of ailments that some research associates with high intake of GMO products.

The radio guest said there were eight foods on the GMO watch list. Corn, soybeans, canola, cottonseed, sugar beets are almost always GMO. In addition some papaya and a small percentage of zucchini and yellow squash are also GMO.

Fucus Plus is crafted from a type of seaweed used to enhance the metabolism in type O, and modulate the immune system in types O and B. This is a hard to identify species; Dr. D’Adamo uses a trained marine botanist to identify and harvest his.

Intrinsa supplements support stomach, small intestine, and colon health.

Developed by Dr. D’Adamo for use in his Clinic, Intrinsa is the result of nearly five years of work. Dr. D’Adamo has successfully blended two synergistic dietary nutrients, Butyric Acid and Caprylic Acid, with linking nutrient components to create a superior formula to protect and support stomach, intestine and colon health.

Jamie Robin knew she needed to lose weight. The 31 year old singer/songwriter, full-figured model, actress and graphic designer had tried everything and when the scale was moving past 279 lbs, she knew she had to take action. “I promised my little sister that if my last attempt failed, I would get gastric bypass. I knew that this was NOT an option for me – so I knew it was now or never.” Thanks to her new Blood Type and GenoType lifestyle, she has lost 70 pounds and is well on her way to her goal weight.

It's good to know there are simple clues such as fingerprint patterns that can reveal possible future health problems. My kids will not have the luxury of ever knowing their family medical histories. This kind of information is invaluable to them.

I remembered reading about the correlation between whorls and cancer, but not whorls and celiac. Both of my O daughter's have many whorl patterns, and my youngest seems to have the worst problems with gluten and gut problems. Very suspicious!

Why do some women develop painful endometriosis and some don’t? Researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center endeavored to find out and came up with one possible contributing factor: pesticide poisoning.

Endometriosis, the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus, causes pain and infertility.

On the subject of Indigenous Peoples: “In Eat Right for Your Type” you mentioned that most Native Americans are Type O. I was wondering (being a type O as well) about the use of corn, since many tribes have used that as a staple. Are there disorders common to those tribes linked to the use of corn, or do they have more tolerance than other type O’s or are there ways we can use some forms of corn in our type O diets?

Dr. Ginger Nash is a naturopathic physician who worked with Dr. D’Adamo at the Center for Personalized Medicine. We are fortunate to have her insight into the connection between blood type and stress and depression.

With each inhalation of a cigarette, you breath in over 4,000 chemicals, including but certainly not limited to arsenic, ammonia, acetone, ammonium bromide, benzene, carbon monoxide, cadmium, cyanide, DDT, formaldehyde, lead, mercury, nickel, hydrogen cyanide, and hydrogen sulfide, in addition to at least 50 cancer-causing agents. According to the Centers for Disease Control, cigarette smoking causes death: nearly 443,000 deaths per year (1 in 5 deaths) to be exact. This is more than HIV, illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides and murders combined.

One of the more useful tools in clinical medicine is the Bioimpedance Analyzer (BIA), a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool we use on virtually every patient at the Center of Excellence. Looking suspiciously like an electrocardiogram machine, with wires coming out everywhere, the BIA unit is designed to read the electrical resistance that exists between the various tissues and compartment of the body.

Two separate studies have found that cancer patients may carry the most powerful weapons against tumors in their intestines. Studies at the U.S. National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland, and at the French Institute of Health, indicates that gut microbes are necessary for several types of anti-cancer therapies to work properly. The studies, published in the journal Science, suggest that antibiotics prevented two types of anticancer treatments to combat lymphoma, skin, and colon tumors.

Even the most dedicated Blood Type Dieter sometimes eats avoids. For our blogger, Ruth, one candy bar was the beginning of a slippery slope that ended in a landslide of cravings. She’s now back on track and feeling better.

Lights are twinkling on trees, carols are lilting over loudspeakers, and department store Santa’s are spreading holiday cheer. You should be happy, right? Instead, you just feel stressed…and maybe even a little depressed. Many times, we set our holiday expectations are so high that you can’t possibly reach them, and unlike that elf on a shelf, we can’t just appear and disappear at will.

Lightening your mental load of common expectations may relieve some of the holiday pressure and, possibly, set your spirit free.

We have been good friends for nearly 40 years, so when they asked if we could meet for dinner, we cancelled other things on the calendar and eagerly agreed to meet them.

They selected a restaurant in San Antonio called Sea Island Shrimp House as a place about half way between our locations. I’ll admit that my face fell when they selected that restaurant. I first ate there about 30 years ago.

A growing number of Americans are becoming more aware and concerned about what they are putting into their bodies and demanding “clean” food. These people are not referring to how much dirt is on their produce, but rather the state of the food that they are consuming. This is not a new concept, in fact, it’s more of a retro, “back-to-basics,” lifestyle choice that most Blood Type and GenoType Dieters have been embracing for years.

Clean eating refers to something that is beyond organic and sets a new standard for purity.
